That play is now in your city, and to you we bring this appeal: “Let us convert our prisons from storehouses into factories for remoulding human beings.
Factories run on the efficiency system of SYMPATHY, UNDERSTANDING, JUSTICE, HONOR, extend the hand of helpfulness, give them the gift of an-
other chance to ‘MAKE GOOD.’”
To see "THE HONOR SYSTEM” is not an expense, but an investment—today is that last chance.
Ask those who witnessed it last night.

The wheatless period for Texas lias
been extended from June 1 to
next harvest, due to the fact
tlie shortage of wheat has become so
acute that the government must use
every conservation measure in order
to secure sufficient wheat to meet
the European needs. On Tuesday at
noon, in reply to a suggestion from
■ United States Food Administrator
I Hoover that Texas continue its
wheat less program until the next,
harvest and not lift tlie ban on June
